Whilst I have always been set on approaching the music video at a conceptual angle, having asked a few people for some pointers my idea may change, possibly beginning to follow both a narrative AND a conceptual route.
As the song is quite meaningful and aggressive in some places, I felt that it would look much more interesting and appealing for the audience if the music video addressed these emotions.
Whilst autumn was an idea I wanted to focus on, after having a few suggestions of other things I could do, I'm now thinking that the actress should be considered as a much more important aspect of the video, as well as nature.
An idea that I'm thinking to develop is to have shots from both a sunny day and a dull day to show the contrast between the characters emotions which are connoted through the lyrics.
The first half of the song is quite slow paced and calm, which is where I could have the bright shots of my actress being happy and having fun, specifically connoted through close ups.
As the pace of the song increases the shots would change to darkness, possible showing the character running, injuring herself, unable to get back up.
I had always been set on having my music video outdoors, however I think that changing the location to indoors as well would be a good idea, as I can include more shots from a range of angles and distances, without looking too repetitive.
- The character could be looking out of a window and the dullness of outdoors
- Fire?
A friend of mine who's an art student suggested that stop motion of my character tossing and turning in bed would be quite effective, however if I was to follow this idea I would need to do research into the techniques that are involved.
